Successful Masonic Lodges and Grand Lodges Learning To Thrive (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545529812)

Martin G. McConnell is an active Freemason who has held several different positions with the grand lodge. He brings that expertise to his new guide, which highlights much-needed changes in the organizational structure of both Masonic lodges and grand lodges.

McConnell understands the importance of keeping tradition alive but also acknowledges the need to accept change and growth. Membership for Masonic lodges is declining, and leadership has become tied up in overly complicated bureaucracy. There needs to be significant organizational change at every level. McConnell presents his own views on the evolution of Freemasonry and the best ways to implement new policies and procedures. His innovative guide includes the following:

• An explanation of the history and organization of the Masonic order
• New ways of improving member recruitment techniques and promoting attendance
• A discussion of the development of grand lodges and their need to reconnect with lodges and Masons
• Insight into cutting through the bureaucracy
• Innovative ways to promote change and growth within the organization

In addition to his perspective on fostering change within Freemasonry, McConnell also includes a series of essays about the history, traditions, and mythology of the lodges. He traces Freemasonry from its beginnings to its bright future!
